Becoming a Subscriber unlocks a discount on every ticket, so plays are cheaper than purchasing individually later in the year. Simply take your pick of 3+ plays from the season ahead and you’ll also enjoy great benefits like access to the best available seats, flexible date changes, payment instalments and more.
The more plays you choose, the bigger the discount you receive.
CHOOSE A PREVIEW
Previews are the performances before Opening Night and an exciting milestone in a play’s development. Select a preview for a big discount on your tickets and you’ll be one of the first people to see the play!
WEEKNIGHT DATE NIGHT
Choose performances on Mondays to Thursdays and you’ll pay less than seeing Friday and Saturday performances (or try your luck with Weekend Rush).
FRONT $50s
Available on select productions, Front $50s are seats that offer an up-close, front-centre view of the stage, where the majority of the production is performed. These seats are sold at a discounted rate to give even more people the opportunity to attend theatre.
$35 WEEKEND RUSH
Experience our world-class live theatre on Fridays and Saturdays for just $35 per ticket with Weekend Rush. We won’t even charge you a booking fee!
RUSH TICKETS
Concession-priced tickets are available for some productions two hours prior to each performance for pensioners, seniors, unemployed people, full-time students, and members of the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA).
Contact us to check if rush tickets are available for your chosen production.
